We’re old enough to remember enjoying Oliver Darcy’s work at TheBlaze, so it’s sort of sad for us to see how deeply invested he and CNN are in getting Alex Jones and Infowars banned from Twitter, which is about the last social media platform that hasn’t banned Jones outright. No, we’re not Alex Jones fans, but scrubbing him and only him from the internet seems to have become a mission at CNN.

The president tweeted about censorship Saturday, and Darcy screen capped all the tweets. We can’t say we’re fans of his take, which seems to be, since Donald Trump didn’t tweet in support of censoring Alex Jones, he must be defending Alex Jones.

Earlier in the week, there was significant chatter on Twitter about some right-leaning users reporting a noteworthy reduction in follower counts. He could be referring to that. Then again, I don’t know for sure because it wasn’t specifically mentioned. Nor was InfoWars.

It seems like he's coming to the defense of free speech, but if you prefer to shift the paradigm so that the principle of free speech is based upon the identity of the speaker, I think you're going to find that you don't like how that works out.#NewRuleshttps://t.co/mtfUj23msD

.@CNN likes to pretend that their support of censorship is just to protect everyone from those mean ole right-wingers. Meanwhile, they and other legacy media are leveraging it to silence their alternative media competition across the political spectrum. #CENSORSHIP

Oliver, that is your real name, can you then explain how one could stand up for the free speech without necessarily agreeing with that speech, or do you think that that is impossible? https://t.co/mtfUj23msD
